Small Dead Animals Libel's NDP MP
So over at Small Dead Animals "Kate the Krazy" has crossed the line. She has fabricated a quote from Peggy Nash NDP MP. Kate claims that Ms. Nash said, quote, "Death to Jews".
Of course, Ms. Nash said nothing of the sort.
Here is a screen shot of the site:
And some reading for you from wikipedia:
As with most Commonwealth jurisdictions, Canada also follows English law on defamation issues (although the law in the province of Quebec has different roots). At common law, defamation covers any communication that tends to lower the esteem of the subject in the minds of the ordinary members of the public (Murphy v. LaMarsh (1970), 73 W.W.R. 114). The perspective measuring the esteem is highly contextual, and depends on the view of the potential audience of the communication.

To speak out in support of a group that advocates the killing of Jews is to support the killing of Jews. Pretty simple actually.
Ms. Nash didn't "speak out in support" of Hezbollah, she claimed that talking to them would be better then shooting them. You can agree or disagree with that statement all you want, but twisting it to be "death to Jews" is just silly.
And then to put it in quotes is libelous.
